BRAKES & BRAKE REPAIR

At Don's Complete Auto Service, we want our Kissimmee customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 407-847-3427, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Don's Complete Auto Service offers.

Anti-Lock Brake SystemAnti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Don's Complete Auto Service where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.

Brake Fluid FlushesBrake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Don's Complete Auto Service about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.

Brake HosesA brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.

Brake Pad & Shoe ReplacementBrake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Caliper ReplacementThe brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Don's Complete Auto Service as soon as possible.

Resurface RotorsIn a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Don's Complete Auto Service will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I was quoted $5,600 by a qualified Buick dealership for several repairs, maintenance and servicing. I decided to get a second opinion and called in at Don's. The work was completed to my utmost satisfaction the following day. The car is now driving like a new vehicle even though it is 13 years old. And the total cost.....$1,100. The best money I have spent in a long time. I will definitely be using Don's for all my future requirements.-Ken E.

If you are looking for an honest assessment of your car repair problems go no further. If you are looking for a fair an honest price go no further. I had moved to Florida a few years ago and did not know any local repair shop so I would bring my Honda CR-V to my local dealership. Every time I picked up my car I was dissatisfied with the work and the price.I searched for a local repair shop and found Don's Complete Auto Service, what a great shop! First I met Richard who man's the front desk. He could not have been more helpful and up front. Then I met their master mechanic, Neal who gave me his assessment of my car repair. Both could not have been more helpful and friendly. I made friends for life. You could not make a better choice. Thanks Neal and Richard and the rest of the crew.-John Keenan

They treat you better than family. My two older cars are being kept running by Don's. To the whole organization, Don, Rich, Neal, Harry and all the rest, thanks for the great service. I would not consider going anywhere else for auto service.-Bradford Lewis

I just wanted to thank you and Neil for providing super service and care for my 2004 Jaguar. The amount of real research and attention to detail saved my money and corrected some serious safety issues. My wife and I have always had wonderful results from you and your staff. Thank you very much and may God bless.

Being new to the area a huge concern for me was having a trustworthy mechanic to call upon. Luckily I found Don's Complete Auto Service before anything serious disabled my truck. Over the past year I have taken our vehicles to Don's several times for routine maintenance and repairs.
Every time I've brought one of our vehicles in I have found Don and his staff to be friendly, dependable, and conscientious to my needs.
I need my vehicle on a daily basis for my job, and every time I have dropped it off I have been surpised at how quickly they finish the job.
I will confidently recommend Don's Complete Auto Service as reliable, experts in their field to anyone.-Jimmy Lake

Dear Don,
Thank you for your professional service in taking care of all of my families' cars. You are now servicing three of our cars which when they need service I plan on driving them up from Miami when I come to work here in Kissimmee.
As a previous automotive repair shop owner of 21 years, I can appreciate the knowledge and experience you and your employees have. As all of them are ASE Certified as I was, I can tell that they are well schooled and keep up with the latest technology and tools to give the best service available.
I can surely trust in the care and advice you give for the needed timely service required for my vehicles. You provide high quality service with high quality parts at a reasonable price. You have a loyal customer in me and my family.
Thank you-Ernesto Dominguez

I moved to Florida in August 2008 from Wisconsin with three older cars that I knew would eventually need maintenance work done. Not knowing where to take the cars I asked a friend who recommended a local repair shop he takes his vehicle. My car needed AC work and the shop didn't know how to fix the problem, so I had to find another repair shop.
Through the BNI chapter I met Don Collins and got to know him. I took the same car to his shop; they diagnosed the problem immediately, fixed the A/C and it's been working properly ever since. From that point on he has been fixing all three vehicles.
I have the utmost confidence in him and his shops ability to repair vehicles. Always been upfront about price and what is best for the longevity of our vehicles.
My experience with Don's Complete Auto Service has always been positive.
I recommend his services to all my friends and clients.
Thank you Don for taking car of my cars.-Steven L. Kromanaker, BNI Elite Entrepreneurs, Hunter's Creek

To the caring fellow's at Don's Complete Auto Service,
There is nothing scarier than a girl breaking down on I-95 with no cell phone and a big dog on a 95 degree day in Florida.
You all went out of your way to get me back on the road as I still had 9 more hours to my destination! The parts were quickly ordered and your whole staff is awesome!!
One more day could not go by without my thanks to all of you and a letter has already gone to AAA road service touting your expertise and honesty. Not too many mechanics give an estimate and revise it lower.
My Siberian Husky, Marley and I think the world of you. Thank you Lord!! -Ellen Lee Chase ( Del Ray Beach)

My family has been a customer of Don's for about 29 or 30 years. From BMW's to antique Willys, and even a tractor they have kept us on the the road. They have been tested with the toughest mechanical challenges by my family's diverse fleet and come through every time.
Don, Neal, Rich, Harry and the whole team at Don's have become like family. You can trust them.
